FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a boot floor scrubber 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The boot floor scrubber 100 includes a base boot 110, a plurality of toe bristles 120, a plurality of front sole bristles 130, a plurality of rear sole bristles 140 and a bendable sole portion 150. The base boot 110 includes an exterior toe portion 112, a sole portion 114 with a front sole portion 116 and a rear sole portion 118 and can be any suitable type of boot. The toe bristles 120 are disposed on the exterior toe portion 112 of the base boot 110 to clean and scrub a corner area of a floor and are formed in a generally rectangular-shape 122. The toe bristles 120 are made of durable plastic material but can be made of other suitable material as well such as vegetable fibers. The front sole bristles 130 are disposed on the front sole portion 116 of the base boot 110 and can be utilized to scrub or wash a floor by a user rubbing the front sole portion 116 against the floor or other suitable surface. The front sole bristles 130 are made of durable plastic material but can be made of other suitable material as well such as vegetable fibers. The rear sole bristles 140 are disposed on the rear sole portion 118 of the base boot 110 and can be utilized to scrub or wash a floor by a user rubbing the rear sole portion 118 against the floor or other suitable surface. The rear sole bristles 140 are made of durable plastic material but can be made of other suitable material as well such as vegetable fibers. The front sole bristles 130 and the rear sole bristles 140 are approximately in the range of 50% to 66% shorter than the bristles utilized by a traditional scrub brush to reduce the possibility and prevent a user from falling while wearing and using the boot floor scrubber 100. The bendable sole portion 150 is disposed on the sole portion 114 between the front sole portion 116 and the rear sole portion 118 of the base boot 110 and allows the user to bend and position the front sole portion 116 and the rear sole portion 118 at a plurality of different angles and positions to clean and scrub the floor relatively better than a flat and unbendable sole portion 114. The boot floor scrubber 100 can be utilized in combination with any suitable cleaning solutions or cleaning powders or cleansers.

The boot floor scrubber allows a user to scrub or clean a floor without having to be on their hands and knees that utilizes a plurality of different sized bristles disposed on a bottom portion and a toe portion of a boot to scrub or clean a floor that is provided with a bendable sole to relatively better utilize the bristles disposed on the bottom portion of the boot.

The boot floor scrubber has a plurality of exposed brushes disposed on the sole of the boot floor scrubber and introduces a modern approach to performing traditional chores. The boot floor scrubber is made of lightweight flexible materials with a rectangular-shaped irrigation boot possessing bristles on the bottom sole as well as at the front toe area, which aides in accessing and cleaning corner areas of a floor during use. The boot floor scrubber enables the user to effectively clean a floor in a standing position by sliding and/or walking back and forth while the affixed brushes remove grime, dirt and contaminants from the floor surface area. The boot floor scrubber may be readily available at typical home goods retailers and shoe stores. The boot floor scrubber is designed with specified sized brush lengths to ensure proper balance when being utilized. The boot floor scrubber is a waterproof boot that incorporates pliable bristles on the sole and affords users with a suitable alternative to performing household maintenance.
